Definitions
- This invention relates to composite laminates of fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials. More particularly, this invention relates to fiber reinforced thermoplastic laminates in which the reinforcing fibers are formed in situ in a matrix of thermoplastic polymer.
- Fiber reinforced thermoplastics are well known. Reinforcing fibers may be short (e.g. chopped fiberglass) or long continuous fibers.
- Cogswell "The Processing Science of Thermoplastic structural Composites", Intern. Polymer Processing, 1 (1987) 4, pp. 157-165 illustrates the latter. Specifically, Cogswell describes polyether etherketone (PEEK) reinforced with carbon fibers. Cogswell further teaches that the composite may be in the form of a laminate of two or more layers or plies, and that the carbon fibers in adjacent layers may be oriented in different directions. Carbon fibers are formed separately and are thereafter incorporated into the thermoplastic matrix by conventional means.
- PEEK polyether etherketone
- U.S. Patent Nos. 4,728,698 and 4,835,047 both to Isayev, et al., disclose liquid crystal fiber reinforced polymer composites in which the liquid crystal fibers are formed in situ in a matrix of flexible chain thermoplastic polymer.
- the essentially unidirectionally oriented fibers are formed by application of high shearing forces with a suitable mixer.
- This invention according to one aspect provides a shaped reinforced thermoplastic composite formed from a plurality of sheets of self-reinforced thermoplastic material, each sheet comprising long, essentially unidirectionally oriented fibers of a liquid crystal polymer in a matrix of a thermoplastic polymer, said fibers being formed in situ in said matrix under fiber-forming conditions.
- This invention according to another aspect provides a process for preparing a shaped reinforced thermoplastic composite. This process comprises:
- each sheet comprising lo g, essentially unidirectionally oriented fibers of a liquid crystal polymer in a matrix of a thermoplastic polymer, said fibers being formed in situ in said matrix under fiber-forming conditions;
- the shaped reinforced thermoplastic composite may be a composite laminate, and the invention will be described with particular reference thereto.
- the lay-up may be formed so that the fibers in the individual sheets or layers are oriented either in the same direction or in different directions.
- the resulting composite will be anisotropic, i.e., mechanical properties in the fiber direction will be different from the corresponding properties in other directions.
- an essentially isotropic composite is attained.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic isometric view of a composite laminate according to one embodiment of the invention, in which the direction of fiber orientation in all layers is the same.
- Fig. 1A is a schematic isometric representation of a composite laminate according to a second embodiment of the invention, in which the fibers in different layers are oriented in different directions so as to give an essentially isotropic composite laminate.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the process and apparatus for forming a prepreg in the form of an individual layer or sheet according to this invention.
- Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of a "coat hanger" sheet-forming die used in the process of this invention.
- Fig. 3A is a bottom view, looking up, of the die shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 4 is a fragmentary isometric view of a prepreg in the form of an individual sheet according to this invention, showing fiber orientation and also showing by dotted lines a pattern for transverse cutting of this sheet.
- Fig. 4A is similar to Fig. 4 except that the dotted lines show a pattern for diagonal cutting of the sheet.
- Figs. 5A, 5B and 5C are schematic diagrams showing various prepregged layups for producing a composite laminate. These differ in the different patterns of fiber orientation with respect to the respective sheet edges and with respect to adjacent sheets or layers.
- Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic view of a molding machine used in the practice of this invention.
- Laminate 10 comprises a plurality of layers, including layers 12, 14, 16 and 18. Additional layers (not shown in detail in Fig. 1) may be present.
- Each layer comprises a plurality of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) fibers 20, which are essentially unidirectionally oriented, in a matrix 22 of a thermoplastic polymer.
- LCP liquid crystal polymer
- These fibers 20 are formed in situ in the matrix under fiber-fo ⁇ ing conditions to be hereinafter described.
- the fibers 20 in all of the layers in the embodiment of Fig. 1 are oriented in the same direction, i.e., the lengthwise direction (parallel to the lengthwise edge of the laminate) .
- the laminate shown herein is square, so that one edge is arbitrarily taken as the lengthwise edge. Of course, it will be understood that the laminate may be of rectangular or other desired shape.
- Each layer in- laminate 10 is obtained from an individual prepreg sheet by conventional shaping techniques to be described hereinafter. Thickness of laminate 10 is appreciably less than the total thickness of the prepreg sheets prior to shaping. Laminate 10 of any desired thickness can be obtained simply by choice of the number of prepreg sheets used to prepare the laminate.
- Fig. 1A shows a composite laminate 10A having a plurality of layers 12A, 14A, 16A and 18A, plus additional layers not shown in detail as desired.
- Each layer comprises a plurality of essentially unidirectionally oriented long LCP fibers 20 in a matrix 22 of thermoplastic polymer.
- fibers 20 in different layers of this composite laminate are oriented in different directions, e.g., at 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 135 degrees (i.e., minus 45 degrees) with respect to the lengthwise edge of the laminate 10A (other suitable fiber orientation patterns will be discussed subsequently) .
- the fiber orientation pattern shown in the first 4 layers of 12A, 14A, 16A and 18A may repeat throughout the laminate.
- a fiber orientation pattern such as that shown in Fig. 1A gives an essentially isotropic laminate, i.e., one whose mechanical properties are essentially the same in both the lengthwise and widthwise directions. But in contrast, the laminate 10 of Fig. 1 is anisotropic, displaying different mechanical properties, such as greater ultimate strength and higher modulus in the direction of fiber orientation than in the direction transverse thereto.
- the required starting materials for preparing the novel composite laminates of this invention are a thermoplastic matrix (or base) polymer and a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) .
- An LCP herein is in accordance with the art-recognized definition, i.e., a polymer which is anisotropic even in the liquid phase.
- the matrix polymer is a flexible chain polymer, i.e., one in which successive units of the polymer chain are free to rotate with respect to each other, so that the polymer chain can assume a random shape.
- the matrix polymer is either amorphous or semi-crystalline.
- Suitable matrix polymers for this invention include conventional thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene copolymers, polystyrene and styrene co-polymers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) , polyamide (nylon) , polyesters such as polyethylene terephthaiate, polyether etherketone (PEEK) , polyphenylene sulfide, polyetheri ide, polybutylene terephthalate, and polycarbonate.
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- nylon polyamide
- polyesters such as polyethylene terephthaiate, polyether etherketone (PEEK) , polyphenylene sulfide, polyetheri ide, polybutylene terephthalate, and polycarbonate.
- PEEK polyether etherketone
- polyphenylene sulfide polyetheri ide
- polybutylene terephthalate polycarbonate
- the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a polymer which exhibits anisotropy (i.e., "crystallinity") in the liquid phase.
- the liquid crystal polymers used in this invention are thermotropic, (i.e., they have a melting point and are melt processable) .
- the base polymer and the LCP must have an overlapping melt processing temperture range, and the melting point of the LCP must be above the melting point of a semicrystalline base polymer or above the glass transition temperature of an amorphous base polymer.
- the liquid crystal polymer has a melting point higher than the minimum melt processing temperature of the base or matrix polymer.
- thermotropic liquid crystal polyme starting materials are the wholly aromatic co-polyesters such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,991,014; 4,067,852; 4,083,829; 4,130,545; 4,161,470; 4,318,842; and 4,468,364.
- the LCP must be incompatible with the matrix polymer. That is, addition of the LCP to the base polymer has little or no effect on the glass transition temperature (Tg) or the melting point of the base polymer.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- all thermoplastic polymers are classified either as amorphous or semi-crystalline, since as far as the inventor is aware no thermoplastic polymer is completely crystalline. Thus, the polymers which are referred to as "crystalline" iy the published literature would be classified as semi-crystalline herein.
- polyetherimide PEI
- a wholly aromatic co-polyester thermotropic liquid crystal polymer having a melting point of about 275°C and supplied by Celanese Research Company, Summit, New Jersey, under the designation "Vectra A 950". This polymer is believe to consist essentially of about
- Another wholy aromatic copolyester LCP consists of p-oxybenzoyl moieties and oxybiphenylene terephthaloyl moieties, and is available commercially under the tradename "Xydar” from Amoco Company, Chicago, Illinois.
- Another series of particular suitable composites according to this invention are those made from PEEK as the base polymer and the aforesaid "Xydar" as the liquid crystal polymer.
- the amount of liquid crystal polymer in a composite laminate 10 or 10A of this invention is preferably from about 40 to about 95 percent by weight of LCP, preferably about 50 to about 90 percent of LCP, balance essentially thermoplastic matrix polymer.
- the LCP can be formed in situ into fibers in a matrix of the thermoplastic base polymer, under processing conditions which will be described below.
- composites within this composition range have outstanding mechanical properties. While the desired range of LCP content may vary depending on the particular base polymer and the particular LCP selected, the indicated range of 40-95 percent by weight of LCP is suitable with the preferred thermotropic co-polyester LCP's and the preferred high performance or engineering thermoplastic base materials, such as PEL
- Additional materials are not required but may be present.
- an additional reinforcing fiber such as glass, carbon or aramide
- the additional reinforcing fiber may be incorporated into either the base polymer or the liquid crystal polymer.
- the additional reinforcement provided by the additional fiber is not necessary in most cases, but where a very high stiffness (or very high strength) reinforced polymer composite is desired, such can be attained according to the present invention without the high loadings of conventional reinforcing fiber required in presently known polymer/fiber composites.
- additives such as pigments and fillers, coupling agents, flame retardants, lubricants, mold release agents, plasticizers and ultraviolet stabilizers, may be mixed with the base polymer and liquid crystal polymer as desired.
- the use of such additives is well known in the polymer processing art.
- the matrix polymer and the liquid crystal polymer are mixed at a temperature at which both are processable by suitable means which will assure thorough mixing of the two polymers. Any additional ingredients which are desired in the final product are also mixed in at this time.
- the mixing apparatus 30 may comprise, for example, an extruder followed by a static mixer. This extruder may be either a single screw extruder or a twin screw extruder.
- a particularly suitable extruder 30 for the practice of this invention is a Killion one inch single screw extruder, sold by Killion Extruders, Inc. of Riviera Beach, Florida. Other suitable extruders (disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.
- 4,728,698 and 4,835,047) include a ZFK 30 twin screw extruder, sold by Werner & Pfleiderer Corp * of Ramsey, New Jersey.
- the extruder may be followed by a static mixture (not shown) such as a 6-element Koch Model No. KMB-150 static mixter, made and sold by Koch Industries.
- the extruder (and the static mixture when used) must be provided with a heating jacket, preferably one which permits zoned heating, so that the matrix polymer and the LCP may be heated from ambient temperature to processing temperature.
- the base polymer, liquid crystal polymer, and any additional ingredients are fed in solid form to the mixing apparatus such as extruder 30.
- the base polymer and the liquid crystal polymer are conveniently fed in the form of pellets. These pellets may be either a mixture of pure base polymer pellets and pure LCP pellets, or polymer blend pellets.
- the processing temperature in extruder 30 is a temperature at which both polymers are melt processable. This is a temperature above the glass transition temperature or melting point, as the case may be, of the matrix polymer and above the melting point of the LCP.
- the melt blend of LCP and base polymer is passed from the extruder 30 to a sheet forming die 32, shown herein as a "coat hanger" die, where it is subjected to high deformation conditions resulting in fiber formation in situ.
- Die 32 shown in detail in Fig. 3 and 3A, comprises an inlet 42, a housing 44, which surrounds a cavity 46, and a discharge slit 48 along its lower edge.
- Discharge slit 48 is long and narrow and preferably adjustable.
- the polymer blend as it exits from die 32 is in the form of a thin sheet and its dimensions are essentially the same as the dimensions of the slit 48.
- This thin sheet is passed successively over a first roll 34 and a second roll 36, both of which may be either stationary rolls or rotatable idler rolls. Then the sheet passes through the nip of a pair of rolls 38, which consist of a pair of closely spaced motor driven counter rotating rolls having a pre-determined clearance therebetween.
- Rolls 38 are driven at a faster speed than that of the sheet emerging from die 32, so that stretching or drawing of the continuous sheet of polymer blend takes place. This stretching or drawing results in essentially uniform orientation of the fibers 20 of LCP's which are contained in the matrix polymer.
- the extension ratio (also known as “stretch ratio” or “draw ratio”) in the process herein is the ratio of the driven speed of rolls 38 to that of the sheet emerging from die 32.
- An extension ratio according to this invention should be from about 1.5 to about 5. While these limits may vary, it is necessary to use an extension ratio high enough to result in essentially uniform fiber direction on the one hand, while not so high as to cause the formation of holes in sheet 50 on the other. Actually, it is believed that a combination of extruder temperature and extension ratio (the former must not be too low and the latter must not be too high) , rather than extension ratio alone, is responsible for hole formation in the continuous sheet 50.
- this continuous sheet 50 is wound up on a motor driven wind-up roll 40.
- Prepreg sheet 50 is cut into square or rectangular pieces, either transversely along dotted lines 52 shown in Fig. 4, or diagonally (at a 45 deg. angle to the edges) along dotted lines 54 as shown in Fig. 4A.
- Square pieces are shown for the purpose of illustration.
- Transverse cutting as showed in Fig. 4 forms pieces 56 in which the direction of fibers 20 is parallel to one edge of the piece.
- Cutting diagonally as shown in Fig. 4A results in pieces 58 in which the direction of orientation of fibers 20 as at 45 degree angles with respect to the edges or the piece.
- a prepreg lay-up is formed as shown in Figs. 5 through 5C.
- a prepreg lay-up is produced by stacking a plurality of prepreg sheets 56 or 58 in a desired pattern, as shown in Figs. 5 through 5C.
- a first pattern shown in Fig. 5
- a plurality of sheets 56 in which the fibers 20 extend parallel to two opposite edges, are laid up so that the fibers 20 in every sheet 56 are oriented in the same direction.
- This results in a lay-up 60 consisting of uncompressed individual sheets 56 in which all fibers 20 are oriented in essentially the same direction.
- This laminate 60 upon shaping, produces an anisotropic coherent composite laminate 10 as shown in Fig. 1, in which the fibers 20 throughout the laminate are oriented in essentially the same direction.
- Figs. 5A, 5B and 5C Other lay-up patterns are shown in Figs. 5A, 5B and 5C.
- sheets 56 (fibers 20 oriented parallel to opposite edges) and 58 (fibers oriented diagonally at a 45 degree angle) are laid up in alternating sequence, resulting in a lay-up 60A of uncompressed sheets in which there are four different fiber directions, i.e., at angles of 0, 45 degree, 90 degree and 135 degree (minus 45 degree) with respect to the lengthwise extending edges of the lay-up (in the case of the square lay-up, one pair of edges is arbitrarily chosen as the lengthwise extending edges) .
- This lay-up 60A when molded, gives an essentially isotropic composite laminate 10A as shown in Fig. 1A. Since the fibers in this composite laminate 10A extend in different directions which are evenly spaced around the circumference of the circle, the laminate is essentially isotropic, which means that the mechanical properties and either the length direction or the width direction are essentially the same.
- essentially isotropic composite laminates can be attained by following the lay-up patterns illustrated in Figs. 5B and 5C.
- Fig. 5B a plurality of sheets 58 (diagonally oriented fibers) are laid up so that the direction of fiber orientation of each sheet is at a 90 degree angle to the direction of fiber orientation of the sheet on either side thereof.
- the fiber direction in every other sheet is plus 45 degree (with respect to the lengthwise edges) and the fiber direction in the alternate sheets is minus 45 degree.
- This pattern carries throug lay-up 60B and in the composite laminate produced therefrom.
- 5C shows a lay-up pattern which utilizes the plurality of sheets 56, with the fibers extending lengthwise (O degree) in every other sheet and cross-wise (90 degree) in the alternating sheets. This pattern carries into the lay-up 60C and the composite laminate produced therefrom.
- the composite laminates produced from lay-ups 6OB and 60C are essentially isotropic, since the reinforcing fibers 20 therein extend in two mutually perpendicular directions.
- Lay-ups 60, 60A, 60B and 60C are shaped under heat and pressure, preferably by compression molding, as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 6.
- the preferred apparatus for forming composite laminates 10 or 10A is a conventional compression mold 70.
- Such mold may comprise a stationary lower platen 72 having an upwardly extending mold cavity member 74 mounted thereon, and a vertically reciprocable upper platen member 76 having a mold cavity member 78 extending downwardly therefrom. Mold cavity member 74 and 78 are of mating shape.
- a lay-up 60, 60A, 60B or 60C is placed in the lower mold cavity member 74.
- the upper mold cavity member is lowered to molding position, and heat and pressure are applied.
- the molding temperature is above the glass transition temperature or melting point of the matrix polymer but below the melting point of the LCP, so that the LCP fibers in individual layers do not disintegrate during processing.
- a suitable molding temperature is about 260°C.
- the molding pressure and time must be sufficient to cause consolidation of the lay-up into a coherent composite laminate.
- the upper platen 76 is lifted and the composite laminate is allowed to cool to ambient temperature in the lower mold cavity 74. The cooled laminate is then removed and is ready for testing or use.
- a mold having dies giving the desired shape are used in place of the conventional compression mold. Fibers in such composite will extend essentially uni-directionally if the lay-up pattern of Fig. 5 is used, and in different directions if any of the lay-up patterns of Figs. 5A, 5B or 5C is used.
- the present invention provides high performance, high strength, high modulus and high temperature resistant fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. While considerable success has been achieved previously in preparation of long fiber reinforced ther oset resins, success in making long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites has been more limited.
- the present invention provides long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites and an economical process for preparing the same. Processing is considerably simplified by the fact that the reinforcing fibers are formed in situ rather than being formed separately in a previous operation and then encapsulated into a polymer matrix.
- the process of this invention saves energy. Energy requirements are less than those required to form otherwise similar laminates containing preformed reinforcing fibers.
- Composites of the present invention are particularly useful in the automotive, aircraft and marine industries. This is especially true of composites of this invention which are based on engineering thermoplastics such as PEEK and PEL In particularly, composites of this invention are useful in making automobile body parts and boat hulls. Other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- EXAMPLE 1 This example describes the preparation of a composite laminate 10, having the fiber configuration shown in Fig. 1 (i.e., all fibers extending in the same direction).
- This composite laminate consisted of 20 percent by weight of polyetherimide (the matrix polymer) and 80 percent by weight of a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) .
- the polyetherimide used is "Ulte" 1000, made by General Electric Company, Schenectady, New York. This is an amorphous polymer having a glass transition temperature of 215°C.
- the liquid crystal polymer is "Vectra" A 950 distributed by Celanese Research Corp. of Summit, New Jersey. This polymer has a melting point of 275°C and is believed to consist essentially of about 25-27 mole percent of 6-oxy-2- naphthyl moieties and 73-75 mole percent of p-oxybenzoyl moieties.
- Pellets of a PEI/LCP blend prepared according to U. S Patent No. 4,835,047 to Isayev, et al, are charged to the inlet of a Killion single screw extruder having a one inch barrel diameter.
- This extruder is sold by Killion Extruders t Inc. of Riviera Beach, Florida.
- This extruder has three heating zones 1-3 (zone 1 is near the feeder end) ; two heating zones 4 and 5 are in the region connecting the extruder and the die 32.
- Die 32 has a single heating zone. All zones except number 4 are operated at 330°C; zone 4 is operated at 325°C.
- the screw speed is 30 rpm.
- a motor current of 4 amperes is used.
- the pressure at the die entrance is 180 psi.
- the melted blend is passed continuously from the screw extruder 30 to a coat hanger die 32.
- This die has a heating jacket and a discharge slit 150 mm. x 1.5 mm.
- Sheet 50 is extruded from die 32 at a speed of 4.5 in./min.
- the extruded sheet 50 passes over rolls 34 and 36 and then through the nip of a pair of rolls 38.
- the clearance between rolls 38 is 0.68 mm.
- Rolls 38 are driven at a peripheral speed of 10 in./min., giving an extension ratio of 2.2. (This extension ratio is the ratio of peripheral speed of roll 38 to that of the sheet emerging from die 32) .
- Sheet 50 is wound up on wind-up roll 40.
- the long continuous prepreg sheet is cut into pieces approximately 4 inches. Eight of these pieces are laid up in the cavity of a compression mold so that the fibers in all pieces are oriented in the same direction (i.e., as shown in Fig. 5) .
- the upper mold die member is lowered and heat and pressure (260°C, 1000 psi) are applied for one hour.
- the mold is then opened and the composite laminate formed therein is removed after it has cooled to approximately ambient temperature. A laminate having a thickness of 0.106 inch is obtained.
- the composite laminate samples are cut into narrow test strips 0.28 inch wide x 2.5 inch long x 0.106 inch thick.
- the longitudinal direction of these test strips is the same as the fiber direction.
- Tensile test at an elongation speed of 0.02 inch/min. shows a modulus of 13.8 GPa at 0.2 percent elongation in the fiber direction. It is not possible obtain a tensile strength (ultimate strength) result because the sample broke at the grips used to hold the sample ends for tensile testing.
- Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 is followed except that the lay-up pattern shown in Fig. 5A is used. In this lay-up pattern, four fiber directions are used. The respective fiber direction angles in each layer from top to bottom in the mold cavity (measured from the longitudinal edge of the example to a line parallel to the predominant fiber direction) as follows: 0 degree, 45 degree, 90 degree, minus 45 degree, minus 45 degree, 90 degree, 45 degree, 0 degree.
- a composite laminate as shown in Fig. 1A is obtained. The composite laminate thus obtained is tested in the same manner as the composite laminate obtained in Example 1.
- a modulus at 0.2 percent elongation is 12.8 GPa.

Abstract
Un composite thermoplastique renforcé façonné, tel qu'un stratifié composite (10), comprend un polymère matriciel thermoplastique (22) ainsi qu'une pluralité de fibres longues (20) d'un polymère à cristaux liquides (PCL), lesquelles sont formées in situ dans le polymère matriciel. Ce composite est formé par transformation d'un préimprégné en une pluralité de feuilles ou de couches individuelles (12, 14, 16, 18) comprenant chacune des fibres longues (20) orientées de manière unidirectionnelle, dudit PCL dans une matrice (22) du polymère thermoplastique. On forme une superposition par découpage de chaque feuille ou couche individuelle en pièces, de sorte que le sens de l'orientation des fibres dans chacune desdites pièces est soit parallèle à une paire de bords soit à des angles de 45° par rapport à chacun desdits bords. On façonne ladite superposition sous l'effet de chaleur et de pression afin de former le composite.
